At Evergreen, we believe that a gifted child’s journey toward fulfilling his/her potential comes through educating the whole child. In 1963, The Evergreen School for Gifted Children was established to provide a nurturing environment for extraordinary minds.
 
Since our beginning, the school has met this need with a hands-on curriculum grounded in exploration and global understanding. Although we shortened our name to The Evergreen School in 1991, our mission remains the same.

Evergreen offers an exciting educational experience developing independent problem-solving skills, compassion, sense of social responsibility, global understanding and thirst for knowledge. Our program surrounds students with a supportive community through these formative years to deliver confident, well-rounded individuals into the world. Through the unyielding passion of talented teachers, a warm, friendly environment, and the enthusiastic assistance of our parents, Evergreen students embrace their strengths to pursue and achieve their dreams.
 
Geared for Highly Capable Children
 
Evergreen encourages students to develop their own unique gifts and learning potential with an enriched curriculum that emphasizes individual skill building. Highly capable students usually possess advanced creative thinking skills, demonstrate long periods of concentration, independence, self-direction, curiosity and a progressive vocabulary at an early age. Like all children and adolescents, they need love, care and guidance, but to fulfill their potential they also need an early and continuous exposure to a broad range of ideas. Traditional learning environments often fail to provide the depth, breadth and pacing these students deserve and require. At Evergreen, we cater specifically to their needs with experiential learning approaches that teach students outside the boundaries of grade-level, memorization-based curriculum.
